X2Go is mainly organized via Mailing Lists. Everybody can read content send to the Mailing Lists in public without needing to join any web service.

X2Go is mainly organized via IRC and mailing lists. We use IRC in cases where we need quick feedback on specific issues. IRC is also a place where you can get community support from.

-

If you want to ask a question or want to make suggestions,​ please feel free to join those lists you are interested in. It is always a good idea to have a look inside the archives of a list to see if a topic has already been discussed. ​

+

With the mailing lists, all content is public. The major (long term) discussions happen on the mailing lists. Also the dicussions from the bug tracker are cross-posted to one of the lists (x2go-dev ML). Before you can send to one of the X2Go mailing lists, you have to get a subscription. This is to avoid spam on the mailing lists.

If you want to ask a question or want to make suggestions,​ please feel free to show up on IRC or to join those lists you are interested in.

Before asking questions, it is always a good idea to have a look inside the archives of a list to see if a topic has already been discussed ​and a solution to your question been provided.

As there are already people on the list who may have spent a lot of time working on this project, please be kind and think about what you are going to write ([[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Netiquette|Netiquette]]). Please keep in mind that our list archives are public and that they are visited by search engines!

So if you are ,,from far away''​ then make sure you hover around on IRC long enough for one us to get out of bed, have breakfast and answer your questions. You may have to ask your question on IRC and stay in the channel over (your) night and look for an answer the next morning.

The site [[http://​x2go-community.org]] is run by Tobias Luther from the German [[http://​www.linux4afrika.de|Linux4Africa]] project and especially aims at the German(-only) speaking people of the X2Go user community. Esp. those of you who prefer a forum-like website to using mailing lists and feel uncomfortable with writing/​reading/​discussing in English. ​

Tobias Luther will make sure to involve the developers / power users from the international community, so that synergies will be made.
